FKA twigs is opening up about her love for boyfriend Robert Pattinson and says she is learning to deal with the paparazzi presence in her life.

“That side of my life [with the paparazzi has] nothing to do with me. That’s, like… That is the… side of life of the man that I love,” the 26-year-old singer said in an interview with The Observer. “And… when that started happening I had to… Because that is the opposite of who I am as a person, and it was weird…”

“Then I had to sit back and have a conversation with myself and I had to say: that is something really horrible. No, not horrible, I don’t find it horrible, it’s something that’s very challenging. I look uncomfortable because I am uncomfortable,” twigs added. “But then it’s, like, is this person in my life worth that? And he is, without question. Do you know what I mean? In comparison to how happy I am. And how I feel with him. It’s 100 percent worth it.”

“I really enjoy the fun of putting something out and people liking it or hating it or talking about it, but vacuous attention, it feels disgusting. It’s like a hangover. It’s weird,” the 26-year-old singer told USA Today. “I know that’s not really because of me or what I’m doing, [but] the positivity that I get from [my relationship] makes the more challenging aspects…very worth it.”

When asked about the various topics of her debut album LP1, she mentioned love, saying, “You try to do something, and it makes you feel disgusted in yourself. Whether it’s loving someone, trying to make music or trying to finish something and it’s painful, you’re constantly confronted with your lack of skill level, or you’re trying to love someone and you’re confronted with all the demons you have.”

FKA and Rob have been spotted together a lot lately, most recently last week in New York City following her concerts in the Big Apple area.
